The action moves to the young couple's home as the seduction continues, culminating in a shocking moment of bloody violence as Deneuve and Bowie suddenly slash the couple's throats. A visual seduction of the couple begins as the camera cuts back and forth to punk band Bauhaus' lead vocalist Peter Murphy, looking bat-like behind a wire cage, singing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in a deep, throaty bass. Two figures dressed in black and disguised behind sunglasses ( Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie) move in the smoky shadows, spotting a young couple on a crowded dance club floor. It's six minutes of mind-swirling imagery, dizzying lighting, and frenzied editing set to an ominous goth rock anthem, and it's one of the most incredible opening sequences ever put on film.
